Janam creates music that is fresh, soulful and texturally rich. The songs tell stories - the universal stuff of life – through driving rhythms, sultry harmonies, and captivating tonalities. In addition to Albanian, Macedonian, Hungarian, Greek, Turkish, Sephardic Jewish, Romani (“Gypsy”) and Appalachian roots music, Janam’s repertoire includes original compositions and arrangements inspired by the modalities and meters of these musical traditions.
"Like this universality in songs, the overwhelming effect of Janam’s performance was one of seamless and beautiful integration of many elements which, despite disparate natures, come together harmoniously in the skillful hands of the musicians.” - Joe Rattanti, The Bottom Line
